•
Before starting the operation of the Grabber board, it must be
ensured, that the device is appropriate for the application and the
specific location. In case of doubt, you should ask experts or the
manufacturer.
•
The product has to be protected from hard shocks and vibrations.
Eventually the device has to be padded or cushioned, but the
ventilation may not be obstructed.
•
In need of repair only a specialist should be asked, who uses the
original spare parts. For the installation of the Grabber, use only
tested and approved cables. Only radio shielded cables should be
utilized.

Addresses
and Resources
The pciGrabber-4x4 occupies a region of 4 kBytes in the main
memory of the PC for the local registers per decoder. The addressing
region is automatically specified by the BIOS and no hardware wiring
(jumper setting) is required.
Several pciGrabber-4x4 can be installed in one system. The boards are
configured automatically by the BIOS for different addresses.
It is not possible to determine which board is configured to which
address. The base address of each board can be obtained by the
PCI-BIOS. For the pciGrabber-4x4 the driver software determines the
address via the BIOS and defines a device number. The driver also
can determine the number of boards within the system and is able to
control each board by its particular device number.
It is not possible to determine which board will be specified by which
device number. This will be done only by the PCI-BIOS and the
architecture of the PC-motherboard. Usually the addresses are
allocated in sequence of the numbering of the PCI-slots. This might
deviate for different manufacturers. To solve that problem you can use
the Pin header row X900. With them you can set Jumper to give every
Grabber an explicit address.
